The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

activation email has double angle brackets in From (2 posts)

    if the site email is email@domain.com, the From header in the activation mail is as follows:

    From: "<email@domain.com>" <<email@domain.com>>

    this causes the activation mail to be rejected by mail servers. the expected result should be

    From: "email@domain.com" <email@domain.com>

    the email in the mysql database is recorded correctly as email@domain.com without additional angle brackets

    Installation as follows:

    wordpressmu 1.2.1 (subdomains)
    CentOS 4.4 (redhat enterprise clone)
    exim 4.63
    mysql 4.1.21
    php 5.2.1

    new signups via wp-signup.php

    any ideas how to fix this? thanks.

    Don't know if this is still relevant, but I saw this issue, and it turns out that the Site Name/Title isn't stored properly during installation. You have to go to Site Options and reset it, then hit save, and this problem should go away.
